IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

It is essential to read all instructions

before using the appliance.

Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children. Always close the door after use to prevent child hazards.

Before this appliance is removed for

service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

Do not install or store this appliance

where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper

with the controls.

Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

Do not use fabric softener sheets to

eliminate static in this dryer. Best results are achieved when a liquid softener is used in the washer. Follow the manufacturers instructions.

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles must not be dried in this dryer:

items which have not been washed.

–

items, such as work-wear, exposed

–

to grease, oils, or other deposits (such as lotions or cosmetics) in your dryer. If these items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that they may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the laundry to ignite when heated even after being removed from the dryer.

– items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

– items treated with flammable

cleaning agents or items containing acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain remover, wax or chemicals from buffing, etc.

–

items which have been splashed with hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient detergent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the item several times.

–

items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

–

items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Allow the dryer to complete each

stage of the program selected, including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items being removed are not too hot to handle

Clean the lint filter before or after

each load.

Keep the area around the air intake

(toe kick) and adjacent surrounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.

The interior of the machine should

be cleaned periodically by qualified personnel.

This dryer is intended for residential use only!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
